Ames, IA (SportsNetwork.com) - A pair of teams at opposite ends of the spectrum get together on New Years Eve, as the ninth-ranked Iowa State Cyclones play host to the Delta Devils of Mississippi Valley State. MVSU is off a horrific start, as it has won only one of its first 12 games. The Delta Devils knocked off another hapless squad in North Carolina A&T, 66-63, on Nov. 29 for their only win of the campaign, and they have lost five in a row since. The most recent outing resulted in an 83-50 defeat at Houston on Sunday, and the team is 0-10 in true road games. Mississippi Valley State will open Southwestern Athletic Conference play this Saturday at Arkansas-Pine Bluff. Iowa State comes in sporting a 9-1 record, and the team is seeking a couple of milestone wins in this contest. A victory will give the program its 500th at Hilton Coliseum, while also earning head coach Fred Hoiberg his 100th career win. The Cyclones have won their last six games, and the only blemish on an otherwise spotless ledger is a 72-63 setback to Maryland in Kansas City on Nov. 25 as part of the CBE Hall of Fame Classic. ISU will play one more non- conference game against South Carolina this Saturday in Brooklyn, New York, and will tip off its Big 12 slate three days later at home against Oklahoma State. Iowa State is 4-0 all-time against Mississippi Valley State, with the last meeting also taking place on New Years Eve back in 2011 (67-65). The Cyclones are 21-0 all-time against teams from the SWAC. MVSU failed once again in its attempt to compete against Houston, shooting a mere 37 percent from the field, which included misses on 15 of its 20 3-point attempts. The Delta Devils were hammered on the glass, 44-24, and they allowed the Cougars to drain 13 treys and hit 48.1 percent of their total shots. UH also logged a 15-8 edge in points at the foul line. About the only positive to come out of the game for the visitors was the fact that it goaded the Cougars into 18 turnovers. Isaac Williams scored 12 points for MVSU, while Jeffrey Simmons and Jordan Washington chipped in with 11 apiece. Washington is averaging 14.5 ppg as the only player in double figures for the Delta Devils, who put up only 58.9 ppg in hitting their field goals a minuscule 33.3 percent of the time, and that includes a 28.8 percent showing from 3-point range. In stark contrast, foes are hitting 52.8 percent of their total shots, which includes more than seven treys per outing, and MVSU is the worst rebounding team in the nation, checking in with -17.5 differential in that regard. A +3.2 turnover margin is about the only saving grace at this point. As has been the case in just about every game this season, Iowa State performed well at both ends of the court in its recent win over Drake. The Cyclones shot 54.2 percent from the field, burying 12-of-23 3-point tries, while keeping the Bulldogs from hitting even one trey (0-of-8) en route to 38.8 percent field goal efficiency overall. The Cyclones forced 18 turnovers and laid claim to a 36-29 rebounding advantage. Naz Long led a balanced attack for Hoibergs club, netting 13 points, while Monte Morris had 12, and Dustin Hogue and Matt Thomas 10 apiece. During ISUs current win streak, the team is shooting 53.6 from the field and is averaging 21.2 assists per game. The Cyclones boast five double-digit scorers on the season led by Georges Niang with 16.9 ppg and Bryce Dejean- Jones with 16.0 ppg. Iowa State is averaging a gaudy 84.6 ppg while yielding 68.5 ppg, and the squad leads the Big 12 and ranks 16th nationally in free throw percentage (.754). The team is hitting better than 50 percent of its field goal attempts, while also regularly winning the rebounding (+3.6) and turnover (+3.1) battles. Jimmy Vesey Jersey .

Carlos Gomez launched a three-run homer and Matt Garza battled into the seventh inning for his first win in four starts to help the Brewers continue their mastery of the Rockies with a 7-4 victory Saturday.A good thing came to an end for the Winnipeg Goldeyes Tuesday night and Sioux City Explorers pitcher Patrick Johnson is largely to blame. The Goldeyes struck out 11 times at the hands of Johnson and had their franchise record 11-game winning streak end with a 2-1 loss to the Explorers before 5,010 fans at Shaw Park. The loss shrinks Winnipegs lead in the American Associations North Division to 8 1/2 games. "Johnson pitched a hell of a ballgame today," Goldeyes manager Rick Forney said. "At this level, you usually dont see that kind of arm speed and velocity. It was a good match up (for him) with that umpire (Nick Gonzalez). That umpire calls a high strike and its tough to catch up to when you dont see it all the time and have to guard against three other pitches. We were overmatched by this guy." Sioux City started the scoring in the top of the third inning. After Tommy Mendonca led off the with a triple, he scored on a two-out single by Oscar Mesa. Winnipeg had a golden opportunity to take the lead in the bottom of the fourth, but the Goldeyes left the bases loaded when Reggie Abercrombie struck out. "If we could have cashed our chips in the fourth inning, it would have been a totally different ballgame,&" Forney said.dddddddddddd Winnipeg finally tied the game in the bottom of the eighth inning. Ryan Pineda led off with a single, went to second on a bunt by Tyler Kuhn, stole third and scored on a Josh Mazzola sac fly. The tie didnt last long, though. Former Goldeyes infielder Amos Ramon hit an RBI single the top of the ninth inning off Chris Kissock to regain the lead for the Explorers. "We were fortunate to get out of (the top of the ninth) with only giving up one run, but unfortunately that one run was enough for them to win the ballgame," Forney said. Kuhn was the only Goldeyes player to register a hit in the game. In fact, five Goldeyes didnt register a hit in the game, including Casey Haerther, whose 17-game hitting streak also came to an end. Goldeyes starter Chris Salamida posted his third consecutive quality start, allowing just one run in seven innings of work. He struck out seven and walked just one in a no-decision. Johnson picked up the win for Sioux City, while Kissock suffered the loss for Winnipeg. The second game of the three-game series goes Wednesday night at Shaw Park. American Association win-leader Matt Jackson (7-2, 2.83) will face Sioux Citys John Straka (4-4, 3.12).
